Pamela,
Let's be clear about what has happened in Venezuela. Donald Trump recently ordered an illegal and unconstitutional attack, with no authorization from Congress, and no plan for what comes next.
This is how forever wars start. It's not about drug trafficking — if it were, Trump wouldn't have pardoned the former Honduran president who was convicted for his role in a drug trafficking scheme that smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.
This is about oil, greed, and power. And it's about a president who lied when he said he'd put a stop to endless wars and focus on making life affordable for people here at home.
Trump can't even run America, and now he wants to run Venezuela.
Congress, not the president, has the sole power to authorize war. Republicans need to step up, do their Constitutional duty, and join Democrats in ensuring that Congress reasserts our authority and puts a stop to this.
Because if we allow Trump to get away with this, we're setting a precedent where any rogue leader can push regime change anywhere they want across the world.
I'm fighting back, but I can't do it alone.
Will you add your name to join me in the fight to stop forever wars and rein in Trump's abuse of power?
The American people have said over and over again that we do not want another war. If we're going to stop this one, we have to step up together.
In solidarity,
Pramila Jayapal
